Custom software
Your data is spread across several systems, and someone copies it by hand from one to another. Or a repetitive task takes up hours of your team’s time every week. We integrate your systems so the data flows on its own, and we automate the tasks that repeat. Your team can focus on what really matters.
A list of tasks that can be automated, with what each one costs today and where to start.
Components that read data from each system, from a portal or from a file, when required.
The data is converted to a common format and delivered to your database or to a file for download.
The tasks we agreed on, already running without anyone doing them by hand. For example: booking appointments, sending emails, preparing quotes, passing on orders.
An alert if a task fails, a log of every run, and documentation for your team.
Not every repetitive task is worth automating. We start with a diagnosis. We talk to the people who do the work, document how it’s done today, and calculate what each step costs. From that we get an ordered list: what saves the most and what is cheapest to build. You decide where to start, based on data.
For each system we build a small connector. It knows how to read from another system, a portal or a file. It runs when it needs to: every hour, every night, or when something happens. The data is converted to a common format and delivered where you need it: to a database or to a file ready to download. Every step is logged. If something fails, you get an alert and it tries again.
An automated task has to produce the same result as when a person does it, just without the waiting. That’s why we write the rule first and then build. Examples: a booking system that replaces phone calls and emails. Follow-up emails that go out automatically some time after the service. An online quote tool that does the calculation a person currently does over the phone. Everything is measured: bookings made by the system, quotes closed, hours freed up.
There is no server permanently switched on. You only pay each time it is used. The access keys to your systems are stored in a key vault, never in the code. And when a provider changes its system, we adapt the connector as part of the maintenance.
Each connector is a serverless function (Lambda) on AWS, Amazon’s cloud infrastructure. It reads from an API, a portal or a file, and it is triggered by a schedule or by an event. The data is delivered to the database your company uses, to Amazon storage, or as a downloadable file. The infrastructure is defined as code and can be deployed in an account belonging to your company. Access keys are kept in a secrets manager. Every connector has monitoring and alerts.
The channel through which two systems exchange data.
A software component that reads data from one system and writes it to another.
Your application doesn't occupy a server that is permanently switched on. It runs when someone uses it, and you only pay for that usage.
The account, in your company's name, where your application is hosted. You pay per use and you can move it to another provider.
What can go wrong and how we prevent it.
Every conversion is checked against rules and tested with real data. Whatever fails is set aside and flagged. Nothing is lost silently.
Every connector is monitored and warns you if it fails. If the provider changes something, we adapt it. It is part of the maintenance.
They are stored in a key vault with limited access. Never in the code or in a shared file.
The rule is written before building and tested with real cases. For a while, the person and the system do the task side by side and their results are compared.

3 weeks from start to delivery
It depends on how many systems are involved and how clean the data is. After the diagnosis we give you a plan with the timeline for each connector. The first ones go live soon, and the rest are added in stages.
Yours. They are delivered in your company's name and can be deployed in your company's cloud account. If you ever want to continue with another team, you have everything you need.
With a meeting to review which systems you have and which task takes up the most of your time. Afterwards we send you the quote, fixed and broken down into parts. The diagnosis can be hired separately.
We study each case individually. Sometimes the system lets you export the data to a file. Sometimes there is a portal you can read from. If there is no reliable way, we tell you before starting.
